‘How will you get well if you do not eat properly? Where will you get the energy from?’(Agar khaana dhang se nahin khaoge to theek kaise hoge? Energy kahan se milegi?) These are the words I remember from my childhood whenever I was not well.

Four decades later, this widely prevalent belief has not changed much as most of us still believe that the secret to good health is ‘Watching What You Eat’.
